APPLICATION OF INSTRUMENT ASSISTED SOFT TISSUE MOBILIZATION IN FROZEN SHOULDER- A REVIEW ARTICLE

Abstract

Physical therapy is the basic treatment for frozen shoulder, a frequent disease in the middle-aged population. Several traditional therapy approaches have been shown effective in this situation. Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilisation (IASTM) is a relatively new therapy widely used for the speedier recovery of numerous sports-related injuries. IASTM also mobilises scar tissue and myofascial adhesions. This paper presents a brief review of IASTM in shoulder disorders and the use of IASTM to treat patients with shoulder injuries and disorders.
